"I cannot look in the mirror in a dark room. It must stem from childhood “Bloody Mary” stories. Freaks me the hell out." -
2.
"Deposit checks in the ATM. I’m barely in my twenties, and I still don’t trust those darned machines." -
3.
"Sleep completely nude. I’m terrified by the thought that a spider will try and get intimate-&-interactive with my vajeen, and attempt to crawl inside." -
4.
I will never sing in the shower when I’m home alone for fear that someone else will start singing with me." -
5.
"I hate putting air in car tires. I always get this vision of one blowing up in my face because I overinflated or something. Terrifying." -
6.
"My wife can’t stand polystyrene. I have to open anything that comes new in a box, and get rid of the packaging while she’s in a different room. She loves bubble wrap though. My uncle was the same. One day I thought I was being funny, so I took the lid on the Styrofoam cooler and slid it back and forth to make that squeaking noise. At the time, with our family around, he just shot me a dirty look. A few hours later we were going to the store to get something and I was in the passenger seat. He stops at the store, turns the car off and before he gets out, grabs 11 year old me by the shirt collar, gets 2 inches from my face and grunts “that’s not f@#king funny and if you do it again I will make you pay.”" -
7.
"I will never brush my teeth with wet hands because I have this fear that my hand will slip and I’ll punch myself in the mouth." -
8.
"I’m kind of like this, but what I’m afraid of is swimming in open water where I can’t see the bottom. The scariest thought for me is something coming up from underneath me, or swimming over some huge shapeless shadow in the water. I’ve always imagined that if I was on the deck of the Titanic, and had to start swimming as it went down, I would absolutely s@#t myself watching that huge black shape fall down to the bottom." -
9.
"I don’t FEAR it, but I’d rather not walk over grates on the sidewalk when I could just continue walking on solid ground." -
10.
"Phone calls. I can text, but answering or talking on the phone is really hard for me. This must be more common than I thought. All my friends f@#king love talking on the phone, but I’ve never been able to do it without feeling incredibly awkward. I think it has something to do with talking (as opposed to writing) and not being able to see facial expressions." -
11.
"My dad is scared of bananas because his uncle pushed one into his face when he was a boy." -
12.
"I don’t babysit other people’s kids – ever. My cousin was made an example of by a county attorney because the kid she was babysitting died of pneumonia during her care. The parents skipped town and she got sent to prison." -
13.
"Shower during a thunderstorm. I always thought that somehow that there might be an off chance that lightning hits the water source somewhere and it travels all the way to my shower, and police find a guy dead on the floor, with his hand around his penis." -
14.
"I won’t walk underneath the flight paths of birds, and will in fact change my travel trajectory to avoid them. I wouldn’t call it a fear in the classical sense of the term, but I’m paranoid that they will cr#p all over me if I let my guard down." -
15.
"I haven’t been to a barber to get my hair cut since I was about 14. I don’t know what it is but I never know what to say to them, and it probably sounds stupid but I feel like they judge me because of my hair. I just do it myself or get a friend to." -
16.
"I once saw a movie where a snake came out of a toilet bowl, and so from ages like 6-12, I was afraid to poop without stuffing the toilet with toilet paper, and having my legs spread open so that I could see down in the toilet bowl." -
17.
"Go to the dentist. Although, I actually WENT to the dentist 2 days ago to have two teeth removed. They were infected, painful, and should have been out 10 years ago. I’m dumb :(" -
18.
"I can’t do anything bathroom related if I know someone is nearby. I just don’t want people listening to me do my business."
